    Walking around the lanes of old trades and bargaining with the locals is fun. You can see the way their minds operates, their vlaues, their mannerisms and their goods.

  • Address: Old Quarters
  • Directions: Old quarters. A good point to start is Long Bien or Hoan Kiem Lake.

    The lively street market

    The Old Quarter is where you can soak in the sights and sounds of Hanoi. There are more than 50 narrow streets in this area, with numerous shops, eating places, hotels and tour agencies. Would definitely recommend that you make this area your base as there is so much life here.

    On weekends, certain streets are closed off to traffic from 7pm and additional stalls are set up in the middle of the road, selling a myriad of goods and services. Get your portait drawn, buy a bubble tea, or bring back an interesting trinket. Always be prepared to bargain however, as tourists are likely to be quoted higher prices.

    The Old Quarter of Hanoi is perhaps the most picturesque and characteristic part of Hanoi. Life goes on at a slow and leisurely pace, with the Hanoians tucking into pho (noodles) or com (rice) at a roadside foodstall or having a haircut at the street corner while motorcycles and cars zip pass. The best way to explore the Old Town would be on foot. Alternatively, you could hire a cyclo for 30000 VND for an hour's ride through the Old Quarter.

    By walking the streets of the old quarter, you can suddenly come across temples hidden away among the shops and traders.

    Conical hats, all kinds of food for sale, bikes balancing all kinds of wares for sale (or simply taking the shopping and the kids home), ditto motorcycles, cyclo riders hassling you at every corner - this is the atmosphere of Hanoi old quarter.

    One of the great pleasures of Hanoi is simply wandering the streets, risking life and limb trying to cross the narrow streets with hundreds of bicycles, motorcycles, occasional vehicle as well as being poisoned by the fumes! It has a certain charm.....:) But you can also find moments of quiet calm.

    Hanoi has many Buddhist and Taoist temples and they are worth a visit. The architecture is unique and the temples are a major part of the northern Vietnamese culture.
